Société Générale is a bank based in Paris, France. Its account statements are issued as PDFs through online and mobile banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download a CSV file — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
CSV strips the Société Générale statement down to portable data: no formatting, no merged cells, just the transactions in a standard column order that imports cleanly into tools that have never heard of this converter.
The main use is bulk processing, where hundreds of statements convert into one pipeline. Statements from France banks print dates as day/month/year, often written day.month.year — 03.04.2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with points or spaces for thousands and a comma for decimals (1.234,56) — the converter's locale-aware reader handles that layout, and then the reconciliation check proves the result: the extracted transactions must add up to the balances printed on the statement itself, or the conversion is flagged.
Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the Société Générale transactions are extracted, the converter replays them: opening balance plus each row in turn must reproduce every printed running balance and land exactly on the closing figure. Passing both checks is the only route to a reconciled result; there is no partial pass and no silent correction. What cannot be proven is labelled, never smoothed over.
A Société Générale statement's layout decides how differences behave. In a chronological layout with a running balance, a single dropped row shifts every later balance, which makes it easy to spot. A reconciliation difference is most often one of those large items — a duplicate, a drop, or a digit misread — and knowing the candidates in advance shortens the search considerably.
In France, bookkeepers commonly work in Sage and Pennylane; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the CSV export is laid out for direct import where the tool accepts it.
Ask clients for the issued PDFs rather than portal screenshots or spreadsheet exports. The PDF is the only version that carries the balances the check needs, and a folder of monthly PDFs plus their conversion results is an audit trail that assembles itself.
For recurring monthly imports, note that the column order never changes between files. Set the import mapping once, save it in your tool if it allows, and every later month from any bank follows the same path.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: if the bank offers both a statement PDF and a transaction-list PDF, take the statement — it is the one carrying the balances the reconciliation check needs.
Download the statement PDF from Société Générale online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the a CSV file. The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.
Like most banks in France, Société Générale prints dates as day/month/year, often written day.month.year — 03.04.2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with points or spaces for thousands and a comma for decimals (1.234,56). Conversion normalizes dates to an unambiguous form in the output while leaving the figures themselves untouched.
Where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the converter adds up the extracted transactions and compares the result with the statement itself. If the numbers do not tie, the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked — a failed check is never shown as a success.
Yes — it is one of the strongest checks available. The converter walks the extracted amounts against the printed running balance row by row, so a single dropped or duplicated transaction is pinpointed instead of merely suspected.
Convert them separately and import only one version of the overlap. Banks occasionally reissue a corrected statement for a period; the later issue supersedes the earlier, and importing both would double the shared days.
Yes. Download each month as its own PDF and upload them together — batch mode converts them in one run and, in Excel, adds a combined sheet. Each statement is still reconciled separately, because balances are per statement.
Yes. Credit-card statements use a Previous Balance / New Balance layout, which the converter reads as well; purchases are positive and payments are negative, and the same totals check applies.
Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a Société Générale file and a file from any other bank in France can be imported and reviewed the same way.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
